Chapter 208: New Year
He took out a cigarette and lit it, raising his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was a little nonchalant.
He doesn't look like a drunk man anymore.
Song Yu didn't know what he wanted to do, pursed his lips, and said, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mr. Tang." ”
Tang Xu snorted lightly at this time, looked at Song Yu with a pair of peach blossom eyes with some confusion, spat out a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "I remember that Mrs. Tang seems to have said that she likes me?" The corners of his lips hooked again, the corners of his eyes raised, and said, "Is it all fake?"
He stood up as he spoke, approaching Song Yu step by step. It was only when Song Yu was forced against the wall that he stopped. Squinted slightly, he looked at her with a smile.
He smelled of alcohol and smoke, but it wasn't unpleasant.
He was a little drunk like this, Song Yu stiffened his body motionlessly, closed his eyes, and reminded: "Mr. Tang, please respect yourself." ”
Tang Xu laughed softly at this time, and propped his hands on the wall, and the two of them got closer. He attached it to her ear, chuckled and said softly, "Self-respect?"
There was some playfulness in his tone, and he paused slightly, and then said, "Then I have to ask Mrs. Tang to teach me how to respect myself." ”
Song then hated himself for not having any power to fight back, closed his eyes and stiffened his body motionless, just leaning on it. deliberately ignored Tang Xu.
This move probably made Tang Xu feel bored, and he didn't take a step closer. But he didn't let go of her either. Song Yu could feel his gaze still on her face. It seems to be looking, and it seems to be thinking about something.
In any case, he didn't take a step closer to make Song Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
Tang Xu's scrutiny didn't last long, and he quickly straightened up.
The feeling of being imprisoned disappeared, and Song Yu almost subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The tense body also relaxed. I opened my eyes.
Tang Xu was still standing in front of her, smoking a cigarette and not knowing what he was thinking. The smoke blurred his face, and he couldn't see the expression on it.
It was so quiet that you couldn't hear a needle drop on the floor.
Song Yu thought he would wait until Xiao Yun came over before leaving, but he didn't. After four or five minutes, he suddenly turned and went straight to the door, opened the door without warning, and walked out.
There was a thud from the door shut, echoing through the empty living room. As if everything just now was just Song Yu's hallucination, she walked to the sofa and sat down.
As if she had collapsed, she sat motionless in the smell of smoke.
Song Yu didn't sit for a long time, and after a while, he got up and went to the bathroom for a simple wash, and then lay on the bed.
I don't know if Xiao Yun received Tang Xu and didn't call her.
Song Yu originally thought that she couldn't sleep, but in fact she slept soundly. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep after she collapsed on the bed. I didn't wake up until dawn the next day.
It was a misty place outside, and she lay on the bed for a while before she got up and washed, and then prepared to go to the cemetery.
She had spent the whole day outside, and it was already past ten o'clock when she went to the cemetery in the morning. She stayed in the cemetery for more than three hours, and it was already past five o'clock when she came down the mountain back to the city.
On this day, she was cold enough outside and didn't eat much. When I returned home, I ordered a bowl of hot noodles and ate it, and my whole body warmed up.
In the past, the old mansion called today, but this year, she probably didn't need to be a shield, and Tang Xu didn't call.
She let out a long sigh of relief.
She didn't want to go anywhere and planned to spend the New Year alone. So in the evening, I began to prepare Chinese New Year's Eve dishes. With Yu Anhe's New Year's goods, everything is ready-made, but she doesn't need to purchase it anymore.
Idle is also idle, drawing up a menu of satisfactory Chinese New Year's Eve dishes, she began to mix noodles, planning to wrap some dumplings and put them away.
Her schedule is so full that she doesn't feel lonely at all.
Wen Yi called on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, saying that there would be no reunion at the old mansion this year. Let her go over and spend the New Year with them.
The reunion year is an old habit that the Tang family has continued before, and I don't know why we don't need the reunion year this year. But Song Yu didn't ask, and found an excuse to refuse her kindness.
It is not easy to arrange her time freely during a time like the Chinese New Year, Wen Yi is not reluctant, just let her call her if she has anything.
She wanted someone to send New Year's goods to Song Yu, but Song Yu refused, saying that she had already purchased it, and it would be a waste if she couldn't eat more.
Although it is not a reunion year, Wen Yi seems to be extra busy this year. After a few hurried words, the call ended.
There was a beeping sound on the phone, Song Yu stood with the phone for a while, put the phone aside, and continued to do things.
She hasn't really arranged the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on her own, although the menu has already been prepared and is a little scrambling. A man is busy in the kitchen.
It wasn't until the evening, when the meals were all on the table, that she breathed a sigh of relief.
She took out three pairs of dishes and chopsticks and set them on the table, poured the wine, and sat down at the table.
When I was busy, I didn't feel that at this time, looking at the empty dining table with three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, loneliness suddenly came up. The warmth of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the past came to mind, and she called her father and mother softly.
Tears rolled in her eyes, and she held back stiffly, a smile on her face. As if his parents were still around, he ate Chinese New Year's Eve.
Although she made a table of dishes, she had no appetite for the taste of chewing wax. However, she still forced herself to eat a lot, and then put down her chopsticks.
Outside, fireworks rang out one after another, and she got up and stood by the window to watch. Distant and vague memories came to mind, and she just stood motionless.
I don't know how many levels have passed, the phone rang, and she came back to her senses.
The call was from Song Ting, and when she picked up the phone, he happily said Happy New Year to his sister.
At this time in the past, she was in the old mansion of the Tang family. Zhao Ran was probably afraid that Song Ting would disturb her, so she coaxed him to make a long story short, saying that she would be able to see her soon.
Song Ting was very obedient, and after a few simple words, he handed over the phone to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran was a little helpless, and said: "This kid has to call you, saying that he wants to tell you Happy New Year." Busy today, right?"
Song Yu originally wanted to say that she was not busy, but she didn't want her to know that she was spending the New Year alone, so she said that it was okay.
We were going to meet soon, Zhao Ran didn't say anything more, and let her hang up the phone after she was busy and rested early.
Song Yu had been standing on the balcony for a long time, and after hanging up the phone at this time, he looked at the time and found that it was only eight o'clock. It was already dark outside, and she thought it was getting late.
She didn't have any pastime that night, and was about to go to the living room to watch the gala when her phone rang.
This time it was an unfamiliar number, and she took a look at it, picked it up, and said hello.
"It's me. It was Yu Anhe on the other end of the phone, he coughed as he spoke, and then continued: "I arranged for someone to pick you up, and now I am outside your door." ”
Didn't he say he wouldn't be here for the New Year?
Before Song Yu could react, Yu Anhe hung up the phone. And there was a knock on the door.
She had to go over and open the door first.
Standing outside the door was a respectful man in a suit, and when he saw Song Yu, he opened his mouth and said, "Miss Song, Mr. Yu sent me to pick you up." ”
Yu Anhe hung up the phone directly after he finished speaking, and Song Yu didn't have time to ask what was going on. Now I saw someone outside, and after saying a little waiting, I went to get my clothes and came out.
She had thought that the driver was going to take her to the other side of the Yu'an River, but she didn't. He actually drove her to the Song Mansion.
Song Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
Tonight's Song Mansion is no longer deserted, far away, you can see the lanterns hanging at the door and the warm lights in the courtyard.
Song Yu suddenly felt like he had returned to a long time ago, and he felt like he was going home.
This feeling was so unreal, but she was greedy for it. Her eyes stayed on the light from the Song Mansion, and she didn't come back to her senses until the car stopped at the door.
A new couplet has been posted on the door, and it is a celebration that has not been seen in a long time.
The handwriting on the couplet was somewhat like her father's, and she got out of the car and walked over, reaching out and gently touching the words on it.
The ink on the couplet had already dried, and it was still slightly rough to the touch of my fingers. A little bit of ink fragrance is rendered between the fingers. Her eyes wet between her fingers.
The driver didn't know when he stepped forward, opened the door and said respectfully, "Miss Song, please." ”
Song Yu's gaze retracted from the couplet and looked into the courtyard with warm lights. Her heart pounded suddenly. It's like her parents will suddenly come out of the yard with a smile on their faces to greet her and hug him.
Naturally, this was just her imagination.
Although the lights in the courtyard were warm, the courtyard was empty and deserted. There are no parents, and there are no old people in the Song Mansion in the past.
Song Yu's heart was empty, he came back from his trance, and followed the person into the house.
She thought Yu Anhe would be here, but she didn't. The main room was also empty, but Mother Qin came over, and after pouring tea and serving her snacks, she whispered, "You use some snacks." ”
Song Yu didn't have an appetite for dim sum, and he didn't know what Yu Anhe meant by arranging for him to come over. looked at Qin's mother and asked, "Is Mr. Yu not here?"
Qin's mother smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Yu is not here during this time. After a slight pause, she continued: "You don't usually come over, Mr. Yu asked you to come and stay for one night." ”
Yes, since she knew that this was photographed by Yu Anhe, she no longer came by herself. Speaking of which, I haven't been here for a long time.
Yu Anhe arranged for her to stay for one night in his own absence, probably to give her enough time and space to stay in this familiar place, so that she could miss all the past without any scruples.
Song Yu was silent and didn't speak, and only after a while did he say thank you in a low voice.
Mother Qin didn't speak, and she didn't know when she quietly retreated.
Song Yu sat in the empty living room, and went upstairs after a while. One by one, I went to see her room, her parents' room.
She stopped only halfway through it, and leaned against the cold hallway without going any further. After a long time, I slowly went upstairs to the small garden on the roof.
There were fireworks in the sky at this moment, and she watched with wide eyes and did not move. I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, the tears will fall.
Song Yu finally rejected Yu Anhe's kindness and did not live in Song's house. After the bell rang at twelve o'clock, he left the Song house.
Everything in Song's house was just a dream of the past, and her mind gradually woke up when she sat in the car and blew the cold wind.
The more awake you are, the clearer the pain feels. After driving the car for a while, she said to the driver in front, "Just let me go in front, thank you." ”
The driver was surprised that she would get off the bus halfway, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Then he respectfully responded with a yes. The car slowly stopped in front of me.
She opened the door and got out of the car, followed by the driver in front of her.
He was obviously going to follow her like this, Song Yu was silent for a moment, and said, "Don't follow me, I want to walk by myself." ”
The driver was a little embarrassed, but he still didn't say anything, and answered yes.
Song Yu politely thanked him and walked towards the brightly lit square in front of him.
The square on Chinese New Year's Eve is lively, and the music of New Year's celebration is endless. The little couple walked greasy and crookedly hand in hand, and occasionally a family of three or four passed by, and the laughter spread far away.
Song Yu seemed to be tireless, just walking in the crowd.
After I don't know how long, someone pulled her. Song Yu came back to her senses and saw Song Mian standing in front of her wearing a thick down jacket.
He was surprised to see her, and asked loudly in the noisy voice, "Ayu, why are you here?"
There was really a lot of commotion around, and he directly took her out of the crowd at this moment. It wasn't until he reached a quiet place outside that he let go of Song Yu's hand and asked cautiously, "Ah Yu, why are you here alone?"
He was surprised to see Song Yu just now, but now he was worried. Because she should be in the Tang family's old mansion today, there should be something going on here.
Song Yu didn't expect to meet Song Mian here, knowing what he was worried about, he squeezed out a smile and said, "It's nothing, there is no need for a reunion over there this year." ”
Song Mian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked, "Then why don't you go to my house?"
After walking for so long, Song Yu felt tired at this moment, smiled reluctantly, and said, "I just want to be quiet." ”
Song Mian was silent for a while, did not continue on this topic, looked at her frozen pale face, and said, "Find a place to sit." ”
Song Yu responded with a good word and walked outside with him.
After walking for a while and seeing that Song Mian was alone, Song Yu asked, "Cousin, why are you here?"
Song Mian's footsteps paused slightly, turned around and smiled at her, and said, "I can't sleep with a little excitement, so I came out for a walk." ”
He shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly.
His house was quite far from here, and even if he couldn't sleep, he wouldn't be able to come here. There was no need to guess that Song Yu knew that his coming over must have something to do with Sisi, but she didn't ask anything, just nodded.
She didn't ask anything, Song Mian was undoubtedly relieved, and quickly changed the topic and asked her, "Why did you get here?"
Song Yu sighed, smiled, and said, "I'll also come out for a walk." ”
Song Mian nodded, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Aren't you with Tang Xu?"
The Tang family did not have a reunion year, so he naturally felt that Song and Tang Xu would spend the New Year together.
Song Yu shook his head at this time and simply said no.
It was only at this time that she remembered Tang Xulai, since the Tang family did not have a reunion year, where was he tonight?
Is it on Wenyi Tang Yao's side, or Aunt Tang's side, or in the old mansion?
Naturally, it wasn't her turn to worry about these things, and she shook her head, banishing the thoughts from her head.
Although it is late, the most important thing in such a day is people. The two walked a long way before they entered a bar on the side of the road.
It was a little hot after walking all the way, and Song Mian took off his coat after entering, and then called the waiter to serve two glasses of wine.
Compared to the outside, this side is much cleaner. He couldn't help but let out a soft breath.
Both of them had their own agendas, and there was nothing to say for a while. So they all drank silently.
The two sat down until more than three o'clock in the morning. Song Yu was still awake, and Song Mian, who was drinking glass after glass of wine, was already drunk, muttering a trace of silk in his mouth.
Song Yu was suddenly sad at this moment, closed his eyes and sat for a while, and then helped Song Mian out of the bar.
At this time, it was difficult to take a taxi, and she thought it would take a long time to get a taxi home. But when I got to the side of the road, I saw the driver of Yu Anhe waiting on the side of the road.
She walked around the square for a long time, but he didn't even follow him.
The driver was still respectful, and said to Song Yu that I will come, and took over the drunk Song Mian.
With his help, Song Yu relaxed and thanked him in a low voice.
Song Mian was so drunk that he never woke up halfway. When he arrived at the community, it was still because Anhe's driver helped him upstairs. Put him on the bed and leave.
didn't sleep all night, and Song Yu didn't feel sleepy at all. After gently closing the bedroom door, he sat in the living room for a while, took out his mobile phone, and simply sent a text message to Yu Anhe to thank him.
At this time, most people should still be asleep, but within two minutes, she received a text message from Yu Anhe, which was simple and polite.
He texted back so quickly, not knowing if he hadn't slept or had woken up. Song Yu couldn't help but be stunned. But she didn't text anymore and put her phone aside.
And the phone didn't ring again.
It didn't take long for it to get light outside, and she squinted her eyes and looked, got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
